'American Idol' contestant went to Anoka High School

One of the most talked-about contestants to earn a golden ticket to Hollywood on "American Idol" this season has Minnesota ties. Zoanette Johnson currently lives in Tulsa, but grew up in Minnesota and attended Anoka High School, according to Fox 9 (KMSP-TV).

Chances are good we will see plenty of Johnson when the ladies' portion of Hollywood week airs Wednesday, Feb. 13 (7 p.m. KMSP) with the Top 40 revealed Thursday, Feb. 14 (7 p.m. KMSP).

The gregarious 19-year-old made a splash during her "Idol" audition in Oklahoma City in which she shook her booty, gave Ryan Seacrest a bear hug and managed to charm the judges with a nontraditional take on the "Star-Spangled Banner." Even though she forgot the lyrics and delivered some questionable notes, the judges saw something in her and gave her a "golden ticket" to the Hollywood Round.

"I love you. I am obsessed with you," said "Idol" judge Nicki Minaj.

In an interview on Fox 9's "The Buzz" after her "Idol" audition aired, Johnson recalled being a little girl from Liberia when she came to the United States and knowing at a young age she wanted to win "American Idol."

If her "Idol" audition and Fox 9 interview are any indication, we're expecting Johnson to bring on the drama Wednesday. -- Amy Carlson Gustafson
